longer stays and heavy data usage. With a One Albania SIM card you get cheap local rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an unlocked phone, activating an eSIM is most convenient. But SIM cards can still be useful as a backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For short trips and light usage, roaming with your home SIM may work. But roaming rates are expensive, so get a local SIM if staying longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-best-one-albania-sim-cards-for-tourists-cost\">4.
